We're joined by Lawrence once again to discuss the last published scrap semi-official of Galaxy of Fear material: a short story published on a Lucasfilm website written by an actual teen! It's a mess!

We also get a report from Lawrence's investigation into John Whitman's extended authorship universe, and pitch other juvenile fiction series that could stand to have a coat of Star Wars paint thrown on them.

Plus we announce the next Star Wars novel to be covered in season five of the internet's longest running news and variety show, Thrawnderdome!

We could have been calling them The GOFers (pronounced "go-ferz") this whole time! It's the final recap episode of the season, the twelfth and last book of the Galaxy of Fear series of science fiction horror novels for young readers set in the Star Wars Galaxy as conceived by George Lucas: The Hunger.

Lawrence of Bad Time Radio joins us in penance for all this having been his idea, and we say GOODbye to BADreads by looking up one star reviews of our favorite novels ("As manipulative as a Nicholas Sparks novel" says one reviewer of Slaughterhouse 5).

It's a magical galaxy, Hoole ol' buddy... Let's go exploring!

Boy oh boy, is this junior novel a late breaking piece for the front page of the newspaper? Because it is phoned in! See it used to be that reporters would use telephones to call into the newspaper office and dictate the story so it could go to press.

What if Goosebumps did 2001 and also it was Star Wars? Join us we find out! The Old Testament references continue with a character named Malek (Canaanite for "king"), TWO entries for the "John Whitman describes a creature invented by Timothy Zahn better than Zahn does" file, and Daniel nails John Krav Maga to the wall on getting Dash Rendar's spaceship wrong.
